    Cacophony – the Art of Conflict

    Imagine, if you will, a conversation between two buildings - connected by purpose, separated by function. How are the differences and similarities expressed through the flow and ebb of their engagement with each other?

    By clever and often witty mixing of music, sound and 3D projection mapping, Hammer Hall and the State Theatre came to life in a ‘Cacophony’ of sound and rich visuals for two weeks during the Melbourne International Arts Festival.

    The Electric Canvas was excited to receive the invitation to contribute to the festival's outdoor program. It was an amazing opportunity to showcase the depth of our technical and artistic talent for Melbourne audiences and festival patrons alike.

    Festival of Carnivale - Illuma

    New Zealand is a nation that loves Rugby. As part of the celebrations for the 2011 Rugby World Cup, Wellington City Council created a temporary fan site down on the water front.

    The Electric Canvas was brought on board by Inside Out Productions (IOP) to help create the night time festive atmosphere. Our brief was to provide a series of architectural decorative projections on to 5 selected buildings within the fan site for two weeks over September and October.  Te Papa Tongarewa, the Boat Shed, the Rowling Club, the NZ Stock Exchange and the St John bar were  transformed through the visual illusion of projection.

    "Unfamiliar Customs" Vivid 2011

    Nothing is as it seems as one of Sydney’s most stunning colonial buildings, Customs House, is brought to life in "Unfamiliar Customs".

    The show transmutes Custom House's sandstone form using the elements and physical-world influences that it has defiantly resisted since it was honed from the sandstones of Sydney over 160 years ago. Colourful animated sequences both celebrate and mock the iconic architecture in playful and delightful ways that challenge the viewer to look beyond the familiar towards the unfamiliar.

    Customs House was once the gateway to the city, but as Sydney grew, a railway station and elevated road separated it and the city from its famous waterfront. Working with a 3D model of Customs House, we created animations that focused the audiences attention back onto this elaborate facade.

    Light the Sails

    The Electric Canvas continued it’s support of Vivid Live by providing the seamless technical delivery of the projections on to the sails of the Sydney Opera House.

    French design collective Superbien were the artists commissioned to create this years projections. ‘La Macula’ was an artwork that played across the iconic architecture in humorous and psychedelic electropop explosion of light.

    It was a great opportunity to exchange ideas on different approaches to technical and artistic challenges presented when projecting 3D images.

    Enlighten 2011

    See Canberra In A Whole New Light

    For nine nights in March 2011 as part of the Enlighten Festival, four of Canberra's most iconic buildings were transformed into beautiful and unexpected art by The Electric Canvas.

    Festival creators, Australian Capital Tourism, have enabled The Electric Canvas to apply the remarkable creative talents and technical skill of our team on to the facades of the Museum of Australian Democracy (Old Parliament House) and the National Library of Australia for the first time. And once again Parliament House and the National Gallery of Australia were bathed in the luminosity of projections.

    Changing the public's perception of Canberra's more than familiar national landmarks, and using transformative treatments, thematic designs, and purely decorative artwork, the Enlighten projections engage the public, encouraging the viewer to see their physical environment in a whole new light.

    The Lights of Christmas 2010

    The Lights of Christmas is a new Sydney event and the brainchild of Anthony Bastic of AGB Events. The Electric Canvas was invited to create and project digital animations onto Sydney's iconic St Mary's Cathedral and Hyde Park Barracks every night from 8th December until Christmas Night 2010.

    The brief was to capture the unique beauty and spirit that is Christmas in Sydney and to present an original, sophisticated and contemporary event for the people of Sydney.  Consistently large crowds attended the event each night with many returning again and again to view the projections.

    Performances by some of Sydney’s best choral groups preceded the nightly architectural projections that ran from 8pm until midnight.

    A New Look For The National Gallery of Australia

    The Electric Canvas was delighted once again to work with AGB Events. This time we headed to Canberra and the National Gallery of Australia for the opening of its new Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander art galleries, and its new entrance.

    As part of the celebrations for the opening of the new wing we used a combination of Digital and PIGI Projection technologies to help highlight the striking ‘brutalist’ architecture of the gallery.

    We took a simple "less is more" approach to the projections by using selected artworks from the NGA’s impressive collection and adapted them to the exterior ‘canvas’ provided by the building.

    Vivid Live 2010

    The VIVID festival has just completed its second year and continues to go from strength to strength. As in 2009, The Electric Canvas was asked to apply our large-scale projection experience to illuminate the sails of the iconic Sydney Opera House from all sides.

    This year’s guest artist was Laurie Anderson who has long experience with projected video, albeit on a more modest scale. Unlike the graphic designs that were projected during the 2009 festival, Anderson’s work called for playback of video animations prompting an entirely different technical and creative approach.

    The Sydney Opera House is a three-dimensional structure that changes its personality and form when experienced from different vantage points around the harbour. The classic postcard view from the western shore of Circular Quay is just one of many ways this magnificent structure interacts with its environment.

    In the world of large-scale video projection, common formats such as “High Definition” become meaningless and under-whelming. The Sydney Opera House is best served with images over 5,000 pixels wide, considerably more resolution than current digital cinema projection. It is this sharp definition that enhances the resonance of the images and contributes to the “apparent” brightness of the result.

    Based on our initial meetings with Laurie Anderson, she decided that a high-resolution video shoot would be required using concepts created in the studio specifically for the Sydney Opera House project. The original material was shot on the super high res “Red” Camera, the closest digital version of a Hollywood film camera. Of course with all this super-high definition approach comes the legacy of enormous animation files, many gigabytes each. The Electric Canvas designed custom file templates and devised a workflow that broke down the components into manageable pieces allowing a more familiar process for the production artists and editors working with Laurie Anderson. Each sail was managed separately keeping the file sizes within reasonable limits. This approach also allowed for more flexibility on-site and was used to good effect to create additional material and compositions once the project was installed and running.

    Macquarie Visions Sydney 2010

    Macquarie Visions celebrated the 200th anniversary of Lachlan Macquarie’s arrival in Sydney as New South Wales’ fifth governor. The event highlighted Lachlan Macquarie and his wife Elizabeth’s achievements over eleven amazing years, during which they instigated significant changes to the colony that have helped to shape our nation. The project was the brainchild of Anthony Bastic of AGB Events and Carolyn Grant of Avviso. The story of Macquarie Visions was focussed on the ceremonial axis of Sydney, Macquarie Street, and featured St Mary’s Cathedral, The Hyde Park Barracks, The Mint, Parliament House, The Mitchell Library and The Conservatorium of Music.

    The Electric Canvas consulted on the creative opportunities presented by each site, and then recommended the best application of a variety of projection technologies to achieve the goals of the producers. Based on our venue surveys, detailed image templates were created for use in the design process.

    Over an intense five-week production period, we brought to life a rich and complex visual treatment for Macquarie Visions, combining digital animations, architecturally accurate decorative stills, and scrolling image sequences. Using the client’s well-researched briefs, we interpreted a collection of historical documents and images into an accessible “Son et Lumiere” experience designed to engage a broad audience.

    The Electric Canvas applied its creative and technical talent to create Macquarie Visions, capturing the unique beauty of that early colonial period, while achieving a modern look and experience.

    Adelaide Festival of Arts , Northern Lights 2010

    In early 2010 The Electric Canvas presented “Northern Lights”, a multi-site architectural decorative streetscape that ran as part of the Adelaide Festival of the Arts.

    Due to public demand after its enormously popular debut in 2008, Northern Lights returned to the 2010 festival with new themes and designs influenced by incoming festival director Paul Grabowski. Merging the legacy of Adelaide’s floriade traditions with a suburban theme, the new designs added interesting transformations to this unique streetscape. As in 2008, we transformed The Institute, State Library of SA, The SA Museum, The Art Gallery of SA, The Mitchell Building, Elders Hall, and Bonythan Hall with the addition of an exciting new venue, Parliament House.

    The Parliament House projections utilised the rear façade that faces festival square and presented indigenous art from the Anangu Pitjanjatjara/Yankunytjatjara lands in South Australia's north west. In addition to a nightly image loop, an animated PIGI show was developed to accompany indigenous performances of the Liru Tjukurrpa, a story of ancient significance to the people of Ernabella a community positioned in the beautiful Musgrave Ranges.

    XXI Olympic Winter Games, Opening and Closing Ceremonies, Vancouver February 2010

    The Electric Canvas projected images onto the entire 60,000 strong audience at the Vancouver 2010 opening and closing ceremonies.

    After conducting a 3D laser survey of the venue, we created a 3D work workflow that allowed images and scrolling effects to be accurately mapped onto the spectators who were wearing light-coloured ponchos provided in their audience kits.

    Thirty six PIGI projectors were provided and installed by ETC of Paris while The Electric Canvas designed the images, developed effects and produced the 72 film strips for the projectors. The PIGI projections had to work hand-in-hand with the cutting-edge digital projections that were the cornerstone of the show’s scenic component.

    Colour and motion had to allow the audience projections to become an integrated extension of the stage and scenic projections.

    Deaflympics Opening Ceremony Taipei, Taiwan. 7 September 2009

    The Opening Ceremony of the 2009 Deaflympics represented the largest international event ever staged in Taiwan. Under the watchful eye of legendary theatre and film writer/director, Stan Lai, the ambitious project incorporated numerous large scale stadia effects applied with the sensitivity of an intimate theatrical production set to a creative treatment bristling with fresh ideas and a playful twist.

    The Electric Canvas was asked to provide PIGI projection onto a 100m x 60m area of the stadium floor as well as a 30m x 20m digital projection onto the surface of the raised central stage. We visited the site to conduct a complete 3D laser survey of the stadium before designing the technical overlay and detailing the significant amount of infrastructure required to accurately position and protect 27 PIGI projectors and 16 Digital projectors. The Electric Canvas controlled the projections from our OnlyView system that also delivered content to stadium and scenic LED screens and to the host broadcaster.

    Luminous, Sydney Opera House May-June 2009

    The Electric Canvas and our project partners, Big Picture, were engaged by the Sydney Opera House to provide high power projections for Luminous, curated by Brian Eno, part of the Vivid Sydney Festival and SmartLight Sydney.

    Paintings selected from the artist's significant body of work were displayed in a continuously changing interaction that did not repeat over the course of the 21 day installation.

    At Circular Quay, The Electric Canvas used an array of fourteen high powered data projectors from a distance of 450m. The Digital projections were controlled by the OnlyView timeline based media system that took care of all scaling and programming.

    The artist insisted on the most energy efficient approach to the projections. The Electric Canvas' solution was demonstrated to provide maximum resolution with minimal lost footprint resulting in optimal brightness for minimum energy consumption.

    The eastern side of the building was illuminated by PIGI filmstrip projectors working from an incredible 650m distance. Spectators from Mrs Macquaries Point saw a slowly scrolling montage composed of images from Eno's thirty year archives.

    All electrical energy used for the Luminous projection was provided by Bio Diesel silenced portable generators.
